Citroën plays on the often contradictory qualities of round and square, strength and charm, contemporary and retro, volumes and flow to design a vehicle with breakthrough styling and an appealing, impish personality.
With the Black Pack or Style Pack option, the Citroën C3 Picasso gains shiny black bumper inserts on the front and rear bumpers for an even more sophisticated look.

Rear

With its innovative architecture, the Citroën C3 Picasso is both compact and spacious, providing generous room and significant boot capacity for all passengers.
Roof bars
The aluminium roof bars add an extra touch to the styling.

The Citroën C3 Picasso ships as standard with one-touch indicators that flash three times when the driver flicks the stalk.
Structure
Body structure
The cabin of the Citroën C3 Picasso was designed as a survival cell.
In the event of a collision, non-inhabited crumple zones soak up impact energy via the front end to leave the cabin intact.
Lighting
Static cornering lighting
These lights make a real contribution to safety. They provide an additional beam of light on corners or at junctions to improve visibility and help you see obstacles more clearly when you are driving at a speed of under 40 kph.
Steering
Variable power steering
The Citroën C3 Picasso ships as standard with variable electric power steering that adjusts to vehicle speed and the angle of the steering wheel.
Steering is firmer at high speeds for increased safety and lighter at low speeds for easy manoeuvring.
Airbags
The Citroën C3 Picasso sets the highest standards in passenger protection with up to six airbags:
– two front airbags of variable deployment pressure and volume,
– four lateral airbags protecting the thorax and abdomen of the driver and front passenger,
– two curtain airbags to protect the heads of passengers at the front and rear.
Braking
Advanced safety braking
The Citroën C3 Picasso ships with an innovative, comprehensive braking system:
– four disc brakes of which two vented at the front,
– an ABS (Anti-Blocking System) feature that adjusts braking pressure to stop the wheels locking,
– Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) that distributes braking power evenly to all wheels,
– Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA) that boosts braking power instantly when the driver presses hard on the brake pedal.
ESP
ESP (Electronic Stability Programme), available depending on trim, helps the driver keep the car under control even in the most difficult situations:
– acts on brakeforce distribution and engine speed to keeps the car on course if the driver loses grip when cornering,
– coupled to a traction control (ASR) system that immediately brakes the drive wheels in the event of skidding.
Child safety
The Citroën C3 Picasso also sets high standards in child safety:
– two Isofix seats at the rear to install child seats,
– a child surveillance mirror to see passengers in the rear without turning round,
– electric child safety locks for the doors and rear windows,
– warning lights and an audible warning if seatbelts are unfastened at the rear during the journey.
e-HDi
e-HDi micro-hybrid technology
e-HDi micro-hybrid technology combines an HDi engine with a new-generation Stop&Start system and a funciton that recovers energy during deceleration phases. It helps you limit fuel consumption and cut carbon emissions while maintaining driveability.
Advanced technology that is easy to use… Whenever you stop, the engine cuts out. As soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal, it starts up again instantly and automatically, without any action on your part.
Petrol
Petrol technology
The Citroën C3 Picasso ships with a choice of two petrol engines of advanced technology: multi-valve cylinder head, improved management of intake, etc.
This improves engine efficiency to significantly cut fuel consumption and thus CO2 emissions.
HDi
HDi technology
The HDi engines are the benchmark in their category. They pollute less and are less fuel-consuming than conventional diesel engines. CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are both cut by 20%.
They feature an electronically controlled common-rail system: that optimises the air/fuel mix and significantly reduces emissions of pollutant particulates significantly reduced.
Filter
Particulate filter
The particulate filter (DPFS) on the HDi 110 engine contributes to environmental protection by trapping and burning the unburned particles produced by the engine.
Particulate emissions were already particularly low, and with the DPFS filter they drop to barely measurable levels that go beyond future EU environmental standards.
